Loren, I don't know which one of the above I should use. And I couldn't find one for 'dense.'

I've just listened to out on the ocean. Nice one. I can't see any problem with your breating, it seems good to me!
This would sould really nice with some accompanyment, but it's also nice as your solo.

Re Castle Kelly
Again nice playing but it didn't work quite so well as the Ocean for me. I can hear a big influence of the 'master' in the Ocean. I wonder if you used anyone as a refernce for this one? if not it might be usefull to listen to a few players settings of it.
This might be largely my personal response to it but I found it a bit rigid. Your A's in the first part seem like they could do with a bit more rolls. By varing the phrasing etc you could put more drama and drive into the tune. There is still quite a lot in your playing of this that appeals to me though and I woudn't change it too much. Keep that sort of style!

Well done for going for it with the first take.

Out on the Ocean...

I don't like the alternating A B notes you play on the first bar, as you probably know it normally drops to G in that phrase. You could maybe use it as a variation but I think it might need more of a B roll on it, here you repeat it too much.

I think you have used MM's version but to me you seem to have gone too much for using some of his techniques but the overall feel of the tune is like a not very good copy of MM. I think you need to look at it and put more of your own feeling into it. Sorry to say it's not one of my favouites form yourself.

What a surpise, another version of the Ocean .Thanks for that one Loren.Almost trad I suppose now.

Takes me back to the days of my youth when I had hair and spots and blasted this one out for all it was worth. NIce one.

I had the later Zepplin album which had a 'world music' backing arabic etc , great stuff but I lent it and never got it back.

My second try at the Shaskeen reel. I've put more of the querky nice bits into this and hopefully it's better than the last. Comments very much welcome.

here's a second take on Foggerty's fancy the Paddy O'Brien tune. Hopefully it's better than the one on my signature. Comments very welcome. Sorry that these only semm to be playable by download, I can't get them to play directly from the Box site. Could it be because I using an old PC and Windows 98?

strange, i can't hear your clips Kevin...

I've just discovered today that somehow the demo clips I did on the F flute and posted last week have been corrupted on/by YouTube - they've mysteriously been cut short by about 1/3 of their lengths, although well within YT upload limits etc. Any of you have viewed them must have wondered what was going on...... I have therefore deleted them and re-uploaded them, but the same thing happened - they uploaded fine and showed at full length, but then within 10 minutes were mysteriously cut to exactly the same places as first time around. :boggle: :swear: . I've tried to report the problem to YouTube and will wait to see what happens - anyone come across this or similar probs before? As and when it gets fixed, I'll provide the new links.

EDIT (11:6:08): New YouTube uploads apparently successful at last!

Any comments/feedback gratefully received.

Nice tunes and well-played, I thought, Kevin. I especially appreciated Foggerty's, which sounds to me to be a difficult tune. I wish I had the inspiration and/or time to learn more tunes.

Kevin,

Thanks for your feedback on both tunes. Yes, Castle Kelly could certainly do with some more seasoning (as with most of my tunes, i.e. I hear it takes playing a tune hundreds of times to really "get" it, which I think is probably true). It's a new tune for me, so I haven't discovered any further variation yet. Your right, I would like to hear some settings and recordings of it. I'll even make a confession here: I learned CK from the dots and haven't heard it played ever other than myself playing it--very perceptive of you to pick up on that fact as compared to my OutotOcean clip.

Any comments/feedback gratefully received. Oh, and please can someone let me know if these new links work OK as I haven't used this method with this host service before - any probs, tell me and I'll try another fix.

Jem,

I gave your youtube clips a listen, but couldn't watch them all the way through because the timing was off. Video was playing real fast, way ahead of audio.
I downloaded your Rights of Man. Great stuff. I like all the variations.
